Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
Yes my Sweetbites cooks, there are more blueberry posts coming your way.
Tom and the Mr. D decided to go blueberry picking yesterday and came back with EIGHT POUNDS OF BLUEBERRIES for me to work my magic with.
It was time to do same mass baking in order to make sure all EIGHT pounds of them would not go to waste.
The pitch started:
I baked my first set of brownies when I was about 10 years old and we had just moved to the US. We did not have anything like this dense cake in Venezuela, so upon my first taste of them, I was pretty hooked and ate A LOT of them. And of course, like any 10 year old – my first brownie batch came from none other than a box.
I just cringe writing that. Oh, if I could only go back in time and teach my 10 year old self a few things…
In Venezuela there is a bakery in every single corner of every single neighborhood. Most of these bakeries are owned either by Portuguese and/or Italian immigrants that came after the war – and in some cases pass down form generation to generation. Do you know what that means right?
European pastries and breads.
I know, I know, I’m a total snob when it comes to my sweets.
